Tools for improvement

Oct 23, 2016, 05:04 PM

Hello everybody
I recently started creating my own material and I would like to know all the tools out there to help me boost it up in terms of sound quality and effects. I’m referring specifically to production music software, I would like to know in detail which ones can be good for me as a beginner and any other fact I need to keep in mind before getting one. Thank you all for any suggestion…

i’m very “old school”..... so eye probably shouldn’t even comment here and already know that many
will disagree…. but hey, that’s half the fun of cyberspace! in this day and age of technology you can
sit at your computer and make anything sound like anything, so when i’m recording i try to think as a
band. i focus on the character and sound of each individual instrument first so, if given the opportunity
to perform, i know my sound can be easily reproduced. over the years i’ve found that taking this
approach actually makes recording a whole lot easier because you already know what you want to
record :)

If you have trouble remembering which type of foot is called what, memorise the following poem,
“Metrical Feet.” This little ditty by Samuel Taylor Coleridge is a mnemonic that illustrates each type of
foot and identifies it by name.

Metrical Feet
by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Trochee trips from long to short
From long to long in solemn sort
Slow spondee stalks; strong foot yet ill able
Ever to run with the dactyl tri-syllable.
Iamb’s march from short to long. (iambics)
With a leap and a bound the swift anapaests throng.

When Paul Simon conceived of a singer being A Bridge Over Troubled Water to a friend ,
he instinctively new When to drop the metaphor and pick up on real life—those dark and
down- and -out times when one feels weary and small, and in need of comfort.
Real lyrics evolve from the real feelings of real people.
